The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring chapter 161

161 – 154.Relentless Evil-3

[Contractor, I knew you were a prodigal person, but I didn’t expect you to reach out to an unknown god…….]

“No! I never did!”

It’s unfortunate.

I came to another world and built various ties, but the only point of contact with God was Freehard.

However, Freehardt is a male god.

I’ve never even seen a goddess, let alone flirt with it, so how can I touch it?

I really wanted to ask Xhatos.

What the hell did I do to give me favor?

I wanted to hear more, but Xshatos had already left.

“There are so many unknowns.”

The last words had a strong impact, but the other words were also puzzling.

What does it mean to reign as king?

I don’t have the slightest desire to become a king.

However, Kshatos spoke calmly as if it were a pre-determined future.

It was a story that was hard to believe, but it kept getting stuck in my heart.

[By the way, have you never heard of a god called Xhatos?]

“Yes. There was no mention of it, let alone appearance.”

Other gods were often involved in various incidents.

Frehardt, who was buried in history as the temple was destroyed by the light dragon, was also mentioned in the literature.

Kshatos had never been mentioned before.

The Void, which is presumed to be handled by Xhatos, is just a concept of power that he arbitrarily established upon coming to this world.

Seeing that they are introduced as immortals, it is certain that they are more than gods.

I don’t know what god is in charge.

‘I don’t know what you mean by ‘base fertilization’… ….’

At least, it was good that Pingchang, who went wild over being chosen by God, was actually treated as manure.

That’s all.

The fact that he was taken away by Xhatos without finishing Pingchang hasn’t changed.

“These are the only things I got.”

A fragment of an angel statue and one of Pingchang’s arms dyed black.

Sooner or later, I will throw her to Hades and ask him to find out, but I have never given her a reward separately.

I will take this opportunity to meet her and praise her for her hard work.

[True! Contractor, wait a moment before you leave!]

“Why?”

[I sensed something that had the same energy as this body beyond the wall you and Pingchang had poked through. I think it would be better to tear down the wall once.]

“If it’s a homogenous energy, is it a demonic sword?”

[That’s not true. However, I felt that the fundamentals were similar.]

I grabbed Pingchang’s arm and tossed it into the space as I searched for her memories.

The result of looking back to see if there were any rewards you could get from Brutine Dungeon.

There was one thing that came to mind.

However, it was ambiguous to call it a reward.

Kang Jun-hyeok awakened and used great skills to save his colleague in danger.

A wall collapsed in the aftermath of technology, and a broken pocket watch popped out.

After all the fighting, Kang Jun-hyeok accidentally found it and picked it up, but as a result of the evaluation, it turned out that the watch had no effect.

And the pocket watch was naturally forgotten.

I thought it was an important piece of cake, but nothing was revealed about the pocket watch until the end.

‘So I thought it was one of the settings the writer forgot… ….’

Prach was reacting to the broken pocket watch.

When I got it, not Kang Jun-hyuk, it seemed to be an artifact that had another value.

There is such a thing, but I can’t help but covet it.

“You mean it’s over here?”

[Yes. Unless this body is mistaken.]

“You don’t have to worry about that. Maybe your intuition is right.”

Knives clearly visible on the wall.

When I put my hand and used detection magic, a round object was detected in a not-so-deep place.

It was undoubtedly a pocket watch picked up by Kang Jun-hyeok in the original work.

A magic circle was engraved on the wall to prevent damage to the pocket watch.

Through material transformation magic, the solid stone wall was slowly melted into liquid.

Soon after, the wall completely melted, revealing a section of the pocket watch.

A rusty and faded pocket watch made of copper.

I thought it would break if I squeezed it hard, so I put two fingers inside and carefully pulled it out.

I looked at every nook and cranny as I turned it around, but there was no particular corner.

“Is this what you were talking about?”

[Ah, I can feel the primordial magic from that watch.]

“I can’t feel anything?”

[It’s sealed deep inside the watch, so it’s hard to feel it right away.]

“Is it dangerous to take it out? ….”

[No, unlike the current demons, the original demons are pure demons that are refined and not cunning. As for the side effects…….]

“Why did you stop talking?”

[Originally, humans are not a suitable species for demonic magic, so there should be side effects, but for some reason, the contractor didn’t show any signs of that.]

“You mean I am not human?”

[Contractors are human beings. Now that he has accepted various powers, he is slightly out of the human category, but at least at the time he contracted with this body, he was definitely a human.]

There was nothing special about Bern’s lineage in the work.

A character who was born as a child of a farmer couple living in the north and became stronger through hard work and hard work.

Other than that, there shouldn’t have been any special features.

Still, Gwangryong looked at me and thought of René’s father, and Xshatos was looking after me.

“If Bern is not special, it would mean that ‘me’ inside the body has a special secret hidden… ….”

I was a human without anything special.

If I had to question it, would it be someone who came from another dimension or world?

But only Prach and Leviathan knew my secret.

Leviathan told Kshatos that he had loved me for a long time.

As if you knew my secret from the beginning.

Could it be that Kshatos was the one who brought me to the world of Adogchoi?

It’s too early to be sure, but I’ll keep that in mind first.

“Anyway, they say there’s no problem, so let’s get Margie out right away.”

[Unfortunately, this is not possible now.]

“Why?”

[The seal on the pocket watch can only be broken by a similar Magi. There is no other way to solve it.]

“Didn’t you also possess primitive demonic energy?”

[That’s true, but this body isn’t perfect right now. There is not enough magic to unlock it.]

“In other words, you can’t open it until you complete the original demonic sword, right?”

[It’s so nice to see you understand when you pretend!]

I put my pocket watch in my pocket.

I knew the secret, but for now, it’s just a watch Kang Jun-hyeok picked up.

I’ll have to keep it carefully until the day Prach is completed.

There is only one task… No, three more.

Investigate Kshatos, suffocate Pingchang, and unseal the clock.

My shoulders were heavy with the ever-increasing tasks I had to do wherever I went.

In particular, Pingchang, whom you will meet next, must be in a fully awakened state, not in an incomplete state.

I need to get stronger in order to crush Pingchang overwhelmingly like this time.

I can’t show myself being pushed back by Pingchang, can’t I?

“Do you have anything else to do besides the pocket watch?”

[That’s it.]

“Then let’s go back now.”

I missed it this time, but I will definitely kill it next time.

After looking at the space where Pingchang had disappeared for a while, I turned around.

***

I felt that the inside of the dungeon was dangerous, so I left without looking back.

But when I came out, the academy was in a dangerous situation!

The person who greeted me after excluding those who threatened the safety of the students was the chairman of the board, students, and the empty faculty.

I tried to enter the dungeon again, wondering if they followed me when they saw me entering the dungeon.

To let you know that everything is over.

However, the chairman of the board dissuaded me and the remaining professors proceeded with the midterm exam.

In the meantime, the chairman explained what happened right after I left.

From noble mtl dot com

After seeing my sudden behavior, some professors recommended strong punishment, and the chairman responded.

The professors who rebelled were usually cheaters, so they said they purged them all using me as an excuse.

After listening to the end of the story, I tapped my forehead.

“If not, there is a shortage of manpower, but what if a large number of professors are fired!”

“Leaving them behind would have rotted this academy one day. I have no regrets about what I did.”

“That meant it wasn’t the time yet! At least you should have found a replacement and staged a purge show!”

“For that reason, their anger was out of control. If left alone, I would have no choice but to punish you.”

“Why are you covering up an instructor who will quit today anyway? He would have been disciplined and cursed and left!”

“Including that point, my standing must have been shaken considerably. The authority of the chairman is going down.”

If you follow the opinions of the professors straight away, the chairman of the board will be degraded to the vice president.

Then the professors will become even more arrogant and try to change the academy as they please with ridiculous demands.

For the sake of the academy, it is like a scar that must be cut out.

It could be seen that the actions of the chairman were extremely legitimate and correct.

Except for one thing.

“So how are you going to make up for the shortfall?”

“Currently, they are asking for it nationwide.”

“It sounds like you haven’t found it yet. So, how are you going to proceed with the education of students during the job search period?”

“You have one more week… ….”

“Thank you for your hard work. I’m going to stop going.”

“Wait a minute! It won’t be a bad story for you.”

“Wherever you look, it’s bad.”

“As a result of reporting to the kingdom, we were able to obtain a promise to investigate the situation and send support personnel. And I just received word that His Majesty has sent Princess Charlotte and her knights.”

I flinched and stiffened.

It was fortunate that the royal family provided support while recruiting new personnel, but the name I heard later lingered in my ears.

“Who, who is coming?”

“Princess Charlotte! You are the one called the Princess Knight of Holden Kingdom! Since you are so outstanding in terms of skills and appearance, I will secretly push you from behind and connect you with you! How is it?”

This damn old man is trying to kill me.
